TheOriginalEd:Do it the alton brown way. You wont ever want it another way.

Does the Alton Brown way involve building some kind of complicated bread dehydrating device (out of flower pots, dry ice, duct work, half a Weber grill, and a handfull of bicycle spokes) and then explaining why an egg beater is bad because it's a "unitasker"? And does it need to be begun the night before, and involve some kind of laser interferometry to measure the heat of the pan, and end with a metric buttload of kosher salt being dumped on it and then served with something gross like eggplant-avocado puree?
